While every precaution will be taken to ensure that no damage occurs to the show entries, Lakewood 6th Annual Film, Art & Book Festival, its officers, directors or volunteers will not be responsible for loss or damage to artwork, however caused. It is suggested that each artist carry private insurance for their work. Winning entrants agree to allow ArtsFest to use the winning art and photography for marketing and public relations purposes. All other rights remain the ownership of the artist. Entry into the exhibition constitutes agreement with this understanding.

Artists are permitted to sell their art at the event, if done so with discretion. Pursuing sales is discouraged unless a visitor broaches the subject and/or expresses an interest in making a purchase. A 10% commission to the Arts Festival Association is suggested to help insure the continuation of this annual event.
